You know, this is a little scary, but this sounds too familiar to me. Exactly a month after I bought my P5, I rear ended a Tacoma PreRunner. My front driver side hit his rear passenger side. My air bags also did not deploy, but the rear bumper of the Tacoma hit almost halfway up the hood and...

I was at the show and it was just like any other show I've been to. I expected to see more of the "new" cars like the Audi S4, like he mentioned, the RS6, Z4, and some other new cars finally making it to our shores. It wasn't too bad though. And regarding the APC Protege5, it's just nasty...

I know about that Bcow, but you can't do that when the car is in motion. You can do it when the car is parked and you're leaving.

I actually didn't notice anything odd about our speedo, but I guess if you guys are mentioning it, I should check it out. I really don't have any peeves about the P5, except for the tailgate. Our regular four doors have a door ajar warning, but why does the tailgate not have a warning. I've...

You see more and more manufacturers doing this. Claiming that they'll release only a certain amount of a car per year. Then, before you know it, end up making more of them the next time around. Take the S2000 for example. Only about 4k to the U.S., then before you know it, they're sending...

I've always wondered if someone made the clear side markers on the bumper. I know you can get the ones for the markers in front of the side door, but not the ones on the bumper. I've asked a lot of aftermarket retailers and they said most likely by the end of the year. Anyone have any news or...

I like our red lighting but prefer blue. When you use your high beams, the indicator comes on in blue. I want my gauges to be that blue. Is it possible to change the lights? If so, is it difficult?

oops, sent it too soon. Definitely Black tint. You can't lose because it's not trendy. Trendy things will get dated, just like trendy clothes. I thought about silver, reflective tint on my silver P5, but I'm so glad I didn't get it. I see it on other cars and it's tacky to me now. You won't...

Black tint

Re: "gas mileage" Oh, and jhanson9, I do absolutely agree with you on the 87 octane. You only need to go to a higher octane for a tank if you start to experience knocking. But after one tank at a higher octane, you should go back to 87 octane.

As long as you know you're using premium due to preference and not necessity, I guess it's fine. I think we'll have a very long debate if we're discussing octane levels, but I'm gonna stick to the brands issue. I'm not done with my tank on Mobil Gas yet so I can't tell you guys what my mileage...

;) Slick....very slick. I don't have a "degree" either, therefore I had to bring up the topic. I don't agree with you on using premium, due to the fact that our engines aren't high performance engines. This is an age old debate and I've come to the conclusion that higher octane gas only...

Well, comparing the Protege5 to the Mazda 6 is like comparing a let's say, Civic Wagon and and Accord Wagon. That is if they both existed here in the U.S. It really depends on the options, power, and space that you want. When it comes to reliability though, there's no need to worry. Though...

The WRX is an awesome car. Power and performance for the money is amazing. But I'd never get it. Why? Cuz it's damn ugly. To me at least. It feels so small on the inside too, even smaller than the P5. If one is parked next to me though, I don't even think about "who's faster" or anything...

With regards to the picture, it does look pretty good. I like the side view and the shape of it. But I just don't like the center part in the front. They can fix it a little I'm sure, considering this is probably just a concept picture, if it's even real at all. The next generation Protege...

I know what you mean. Living in California with the traffic really doesn't help either. My brother said that Chevron is really good for your fuel system and he recommends it. That's why my other brother with a 1999 BMW 328i uses only Chevron. But I didn't like it on my old Honda Accord...

I find this very ironic. I have been curious about this for quite some time now. I was involved in a wreck exactly one month after I bought my Protege5. It's all fixed now and I don't notice anything different at all. It's still a blast to drive and I love every minute of it, other than, of...

To most people, gas is gas, no matter what brand it is. I did believe in this for a while until I started noticing something in my old Accord. When I used 76 gasoline, my old Honda Accord felt a little faster. I know it's not a big difference but I didn't have to push my gas pedal as hard for...

You can get them at Mats.com from the company WeatherTech. I believe it's about 45 for the front set only and 79 for front and back. I'd get front and back cuz it'll match better and look smoother. Front what I heard, the ones at that site by WeatherTech are better than others available.

I'm actually looking to sell my 2002.5 rims with tires. I bought my P5 on June 1st this year and they only have 4,000 miles on them. How does $500 plus shipping sound? If you're interested let me know. If you think the price is ridiculous, let me know. I'll work something out.
